[Year 12 IT Apps] Unit 2 Outcome 3.

Mon Sep 6 20:30:09 EST 2010

I would like to support Mark's comments. The requirement is that it is a real client, and this is very important, as solving authentic problems supports real learning. While not preferable, the client can be a person from the school, but it should not be you, the teacher. 

Regards
Paula

The spirit is that it is a real outside person.  In desperation, I have used teachers as clients in the past, but it's still very much an insulated environment with supportive and comfortable people being your boss.  They need to learn with normal people, not teachers  ;-)

I tell them early in the year to start finding clients - the shock of dealing with people in the real-world is a valuable experience.

	Folks,

	Trying to get my head around some of the new study design for IT and I wanted to know how to interpret "client" in Unit 2 Outcome 3.  Can I as a teacher simulate a client with my students issued a case study to complete for their projects or do I have to go out and find clients that my students report to?

	When I read it I feel I am supposed to have a real world example and I am going to find it hard to find projects with real world clients.

	Your thoughts??
